I find uncomfortable to have dinner while chained.

I love Outback Steak House!!!

No, I prefer neighborhood Pubs

Some chains are better than others.

Chains like McDonald’s and kfc have killed the maw n paw restaurants in the smaller towns and cities..

I’m a sucker for chick fil a and tropical smoothie, but otherwise I like family restaurants too

Franchises have become the lowest common denominator and the business model of milking someone elses cow.

Not particularly, I can generally cook better than most restaurants so it usually just ends up feeling like wasted money. Plus I don't like feeding the corporate consumerist machine either. I'll happily go to small individually owned restaurants though. There's a sushi shop near me that I absolutely adore whose owner is also the chef, super nice guy. Always like going in there and chatting with him.

Applebees my kids love applebees

Too much iron.

Chains are so prevalent that every city has streets that look exactly the same. Drive into a city and it looks exactly like the last city.

Some are pretty good. Some of the best ones around here are local chains (with a few locations) as opposed to national ones.

I eat where the food is good. That is what keeps a place in business anyhow.

I really can't go out and eat at restaurants but they are nice.

No... I much prefer the independent family owned ones.

Yes, some are great.

Not a big fan.

I am all about seeking out the local joints whether I’m at home or on the road. Chain restaurants and fast food are only the absolute last resort.

me too generally but depends on which ones . . . went to 'texas roadhouse' like a few weeks ago and totally great!

not all chains are bad!! i like texas roadhouse!

Some chains are okay.

It depends on the chain. Some are much better than others. I just wish their existence didn’t sometimes drive family-owned restaurants out of business. 🙁
